This inn is a photographer's paradise whose main features are the massive picture windows in the rooms combined with the inn's position overlooking an expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. On a clear morning in the back yard of the inn (house rule: stay off the rocks!) I have caught some of the most beautiful Atlantic sunrises of my photography career. Rooms are very well maintained with a very nice gilded age air. Inn keeper Randy is very helpful and thorough and explains things clearly and is very accommodating. Mind you this not a traditional bed and breakfast, it has no expansive common areas or on-site kitchen. Breakfast is provided off site via voucher at another very nice location with everything you may want or need. If you seek a peaceful out of the hustle location with opportunity for peaceful and serene Atlantic Ocean views Quarterdeck Inn by the Sea is practically unbeatable. Highly recommended for photographers.

With Captain's…read moreBounty, when things went wrong, the hotel became very defensive and denied any accountability, and turned it around and blamed it on the customer. I have been waiting for two weeks for a refund and an explanation/apology, the hotel simply refused to respond. On 07/03/2026, I and my three young children arrived at Captain's Bounty on the Beach for a two night stay for the July 4th weekend. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the reservation because there were wasps inside our room. Specifically, there was a dead wasp on the bathroom floor upon our arrival, which was unacceptable because hotels are expected to check the room right before guest arrival. Disgusted, I immediately picked it up with a tissue and flushed down the toilet. Subsequently, we saw another 6 wasps in total and I was scared that it would fly so I quickly caught it with tissue and flushed down the toilet. I did not think to take a picture for evidence because I and my children were scared. Because the wasps are dangerous and especially my children are young, we did not feel safe to stay for the night and had to cancel the reservation, which was very disappointing as we drove almost two hours to get to the hotel and we were left without a plan for the holiday weekend. I wanted a refund since we had to cancel the reservation for safety reasons. I spoke with the front desk, who immediately insinuated that we wanted to cancel because we didn't have an oceanfront room, which was not the reason for the cancellation; the wasps and our safety was. The hotel has two separate buildings, one is right on the beach, and the other one is across the street next to a historical cemetery. It was not ideal but I would not cancel the reservation just because of that and lose our money. Unfortunately the wasps were just too much for our family to make it work. In the written communication that followed, the hotel kept forcing a point that the location was the reason for the cancellation, while demonstrating no accountability for having wasps in their hotel room, which is a completely unacceptable safety hazard. The hotel also questioned my honesty by pointing out that I took my children to the beach that day. Seeing wasps in the room was a shock and our vacation was not going the way we hoped. We all felt unsafe and disappointed. However as the mother and the only adult, I am responsible for my children and had to make sure they were affected as little as possible. Also I don't tend to act on impulse and usually take my time to think things through before acting. It was a long drive on a hot day and I tried to lighten their mood and let them spend some time at the beach while I thought things through what the best plan was for my family, and the conclusion was that we could not see ourselves sleep in a room with wasps at night. The fact that the hotel uses this against me was absurd and shows the absence of compassion. We paid over $900 for nothing but disappointment and a waste of our family's time. Admitting no fault on their end and refusing to refund our money, the defensiveness the hotel demonstrated is a clear indicator that they do not have customer's best interest at heart and aren't willing to take accountability when they should have. Keep accusing the customer and shifting blame onto the customer is not how a business with integrity should operate. Being treated this unfairly as a consumer, I am deeply disappointed. The hotel kept saying no wasps were found later. But that has NOTHING to do with what we experienced as an individual customer and the hotel has not accepted any responsibility for this. In addition, the hotel was able to rent the room out Saturday night, but still refused to refund my money, which made it even more disappointing. It's easy when everything is smooth. However it's when there is conflict that the true color shows.

Excellent. Location could not be better and we snagged an ocean front for night one. The room and…read morebathroom was spacious for Cape Ann. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The rooms outside deck was spacious and the ocean water lapped on the sand and rocks below. The staff was absolutely great. Friendly, accommodating and competent. The view was of the open ocean, Bears Neck, and back beach. Awesome. The 4th of July Parade walks right by the hotel and the Bonfire is a 30 second walk away. Bears Neck and the many shops, restaurants, lobster pounds, art dealers, jewelers, artist, glass blowers and more is a very short walk away.

Really enjoyed the pool in the afternoon and the bar is a nice touch. One of my favorite things to do is read a book by the ocean with a cocktail and The Yankee Clipper Inn might be my favorite location in Rockport to do so. Breakfast was solid, check it was easy. The parking is a little wild, but that's New England, you're on a cliff. I'd like to go back and check out some other rooms, they all seem to have a unique vibe.

Our room was cute and clean, with our private bathroom across the hall (the only room still avail when I booked). The breakfasts are large and freshly cooked - this is not some hard roll and black coffee kind of place. The food is lovely prepared and served by the couple who run the inn. It is in a great location, just a few blocks from the center of town and the beach. And there is free parking! Always a good thing in Rockport. Next time we will stay there an entire week as there are lots of great little nooks (including an awesome porch) to read books. My only two suggestions are a.) change the light bulbs in the den as they are glaringly/blindingly white b.) add thick curtains in the bedroom so your not woken up at the crack of dawn.

Indulge in a few nights at Judy and Russ's immaculately renovated Greek Revival Inn. I found them on trip advisor after doing a quick google search. Everyone was raving about the place. I planned a 2-night getaway for me and my bf. Very reasonable rate - $125/night for Marga's room which had a private bath and four poster bed. Mind you, it was early season. I think normally this room goes for $150/night, which is still a great deal considering what you get in return. Their cheerful yellow house stands at the edge of "town" on a small hill next to a beautiful beech tree. You can walk to the Rockport attractions or to the commuter rail. Judy will give advice on dining options in Rockport and Gloucester. She has copies of all the menus from every restaurant nearby. The interior is immaculate and homey. Everything just so. The place is truly a labor of love for the owners - who are extremely friendly -- so friendly that I knew right away that they had to be from New York, not New England, if you know what I mean. There are only three rooms, so it feels intimate. The breakfast is awesome. Delicious homemade scones and granola, plus a hot dish, OJ, and coffee. In the afternoon Judy puts out baked goods and tea for her guests. She also makes your bed and restocks your room with bottled water. Judy subscribes to Martha Stewart Magazine and it shows. I personally appreciate that level of obsession. Lots of nice details to appreciate.

When they say the best breakfast in Gloucester, it's not an exaggeration! The couple that owns the Inn/Cafe are very hospitable and welcoming people. I've been visiting for the past 15+ years and every stay and meal has always been exceptional. Additionally, the staff they hire and employ is equally committed. It is truly a five-star operation. We were recently up in the area visiting Gloucester and Rockport. As always, one of those mornings meant we had to stop at Atlantis Oceanfront Cafe! It is a MUST. I almost hate letting this gem/secret out. It is the best place for breakfast with the very best view. It is post-card perfect. Your window table overlooks the rocks+water and you can visually see and hear the waves crashing against the rocks. It doesn't get much more picturesque or scenic than that! While the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, the quality has not. The breakfast portions are very generous and everything is of the highest quality. Our favorite is the eggs Benedict. Those perfectly poached eggs resting on top of those bakery-quality English muffins. The tender Canadian bacon. The perfect amount of creamy, perfectly seasoned hollandaise sauce. The side of tender and perfectly seasoned breakfast potatoes. It doesn't get any better than that in my book! Another favorite of mine is their GIANT Fresh Blueberry Pancakes. They remind me greatly of every childhood trip to the Atlantis and Gloucester. I've always told my family if I had to have one last breakfast, let's hope Atlantis Cafe is in season! I am not joking either! Service is always top priority. Friendly and expeditious. The kitchen is open to the dining room and their culinary takes true pride in every plate they put out. If you're looking for the best breakfast with the best view in Gloucester, Atlantis Oceanfront is the place. I did notice the secret has gotten out as of late! We did have a short 15-minute wait this last visit. Parking can also be challenging given the lot size and guest/staff vehicles parked for the Inn. The patience is worth the reward! Best Breakfast in Gloucester. Period. Wonderful, Involved Owners.

When we arrived, the door was locked, directing guests to use the info in their text or email to access their room, or to call the phone number on the door for 24/7 service. I hadn't received check-in info via text or email. When I called the number, it went directly to voicemail twice. Fortunately, a current guest of the hotel let me follow him in, and a housekeeper was able to get me the information I needed to access our room. It was two hours and twenty minutes past check-in time when the text arrived with check-in information. When I replied it would have been nice to have the check-in info prior the check-in time, or the phone answered, the person who replied said they were doing laundry out back and did not get the call. Another couple was experience the same issue as I attempted to check-in, so I believe this was not a one-off problem. If they're not going to have a lobby and front desk, I think they really need to have someone actually answer the phone and/or reply quickly. Our King Oceanfront room was on the second floor, leading onto the deck that seats thirty. We were the only ones using the deck, fabulous for watching the sunrise. but I would not have loved looking out at thirty people using it, between us and our ocean view, during a busier time of the season. I'd recommend getting a room on the third floor for the view and to avoid hearing people above walking. On our second night, guests were in the adjacent room and it felt like they were in the room with us, we could hear their television and every word they said. The walls are thin. The bed was very firm and the pillows are large and extremely firm. We found it very uncomfortable. I was very excited to stay here; I grew up in Rockport, going to Front Beach with my grandmother, and looked forward to being at this location and checking out the new hotel. We'll try a different place next time we visit.
